A Bear Called Paddington

Front Cover
HarperCollins Children's Books, 2003 - Juvenile Fiction - 158 pages
"The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat. The Browns soon found that Paddington was a very unusual bear. Ordinary things - like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside - became quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington was involved."--Publisher description.
